Romantic Onsen Retreat Mid-Century Suite, Pool, Views, Sauna!

Beautifully renovated California Mid-Century Modern secluded guest studio with adjacent therapeutic sauna included. Warm modern design, cabin-like feel with sweeping panoramic views. Hiking & biking with scenic bay views at your footsteps - mid-way between SF and Wine Country!

NOTE: Keyboard piano is no longer in the unit due to wine spill.

The space:
Secluded & sunny Mid-Century Modern guest house. Newly remodeled top floor studio cabin (there is a private studio also on the first floor) with a kitchenette, luxurious Tuft and Needle Mint queen size mattress, premium linens, and attached remodeled bathroom with shower stall (newer than photos). Pool and Red Cedar Sauna available for your use!

Pool available for use (shared with other two-person guest unit and property owners) when it isn't raining (it typically only rains Nov-May in NorCal :). We have solar heat activated for pool in the May - November. We can heat the pool for an additional fee, just inquire. The pool is not suitable for children and infants for safety reasons and depth.

Towels and linens are provided. Fully furnished kitchenette with two burner electric stove, oven/microwave and refrigerator included as well as complimentary coffee/tea and light healthy snacks. A small dining table with two chairs for your convenience. A shared cedar dry sauna is included for guests to use..

We are gay friendly hosts.

15 minute walk to China Camp State Park, mountain biking, hiking, lots of wild-life. 20 min drive to Golden Gate bridge and San Francisco. Native california trees at your footsteps mixed with fig, pomegranate and lemon trees around you.

Guest access:
Tucked away on the top of a hill with full privacy yet minutes from the highway for easy access to the city. Great starting point to the wine country. Parking spot in front of your guest studio. There are two buildings on each edge of the property separated by a large yard. The first is your charming guest house, the second is the house where we live. Guests are welcome to use that outdoor yard fully.

Other things to note:
China Camp State Park (mountain biking heaven) and historic park/beaches, Muir Woods National Monument, Point Reyes National Seashore, west Marin oyster farms, Mount Tam hiking trails and beautiful Marin beaches are nearby.

We have security cameras on the property pointed at the driveway and front yard/entry.

Safe, ample street parking is available at the bottom; just park and walk up a short gravel path (less than 30 seconds uphill) to access the property.

Wonderful property and location!
We had a fantastic stay at this property. The property was clean and had the basic things we needed for an 8-night stay. Hosts were prompt in communication and accommodating to our requests. The location was perfect for our days spent between San Francisco, Wine Country, and the various hikes in the area. Would definitely stay again!
